hiii kaitlynn. don't mind me if this is annoying but i would like to hear more about irma? 🥺💗👉🏾👈🏾
KAUSAR HELLO i was so excited to see this! i have made a long post so it’s going under a read more but omg💗💜💗
and if anyone wants to know more beyond what i put here PLEASEEEE lmk what you wanna know i’d love to talk more abt irma 🥺
irma morlen!
very basics: half elf -- human dad (iaven), elf mom (kenia), second-born, w/ 4 brothers (eldest to youngest; alren, fuluin, and the twins, ayllisar and delsaran). her parents own a music shop in lushpool (d&d maps i love u… i think this city, from how i understood, would be equivalent to like maybe somewhere in italy on the sea thereabouts? looks about how you expect: lush gardens and greenery walls, breezy, bright, etc.) which they own the area above and live there as well.
her affinity toward music was realized when she was young, because guests always seemed to be relaxed and reported feeling incredibly rested after the times that irma joined in on her instruments. her parents were very inclined toward nurturing her magical ability, and therefore had her train with a bard that lived nearby (thus far, this bard is unknown to me! i have no idea who this bard is but idk im inclined to claim a jack black-like figure… fundamentally clashing with her reserved nature, but meshing VERY well with her weirdness).
she met lyanna when they were somewhat young, and clicked immediately. lyanna was more outgoing, but not outspoken (family involved in local politics, meaning she’s been in diplomatic settings forever and understands what is expected of her). i like to think one day their lessons with the bard were overlapped and they just got on really nicely. HOWEVER…………… lyanna did die under mysterious circumstances. like.. nobody really knows wtf went down. (at first w/ this i was like, ‘oh this should be a the bridge to terabithia/my girl situation’ where like, the one who dies went to do something that the pair were supposed to do together but then for whatever reason they don’t? but then i was like ‘:o what if we go for a mysterious disappearance?’ but she’s 10 years older and still doesn’t know where lyanna is, in the case of disappearance, but talks to her ghost/spirit/afterimage? idk. I’ll figure it out someday! maybe it’ll change per story i tell or smth)
yeah so basically the death of her best friend (and maybe love of her life) is like, the biggest upheaval of her life. she doesn’t know how to navigate it and neither does any of her family, because they have never had someone incredibly dear to them die suddenly with no chance of closure. they all understand loss. her mother’s loss of connection to her elven family, her father understands the loss of elders and neighbors, but none of them know the depth of this loss. this causes a rift, where irma finds it hard to connect with her family despite the love she holds for them. as a result, a few months pass and irma decides that she needs to sail, and thus begins her sailor background. she meets saren mostana (the cousin of another one of my characters!!! :O ) and sails for a few years. eventually she finds that she’s enjoying her time in neverwinter (our good ol’ generic starting point for adventuring) where she finds a group that she quite appreciates, and begins furthering her musical magic.
she’s not a stereotypical bard, partially out of me not wanting to play up the stereotype with the group i was playing with but mostly because that stereotypical behavior just didn’t mesh with my view of her. this means she doesn’t really use vocals above humming, and also she’s charismatic in the fact that she’s just really kind with resting sad face so people just trust her and she can engage in conversations smoothly (not easily!!! but smoothly).
for ppl who are into d&d, her age in adventures that I have her in is ~27, and she’s 6th level, but i really want to try and figure her out in an urban fantasy setting! and i have recently changed her from a college of lore to a college of creation bard! :)
oddly fitting ‘irma’ name meanings found on google (learnt today because i name characters mostly willy-nilly lol): Germanic ‘world, whole, universal’; Georgian ‘deer’, and Arabic ‘universal, constant movement’
motifs: yellow, water, antlers (which was before i knew the georgian meaning of ‘irma’!), music obv, lost love, ghosts

random note i found: “irma stuff: you are but a shadow of a memory. in my head you are always here but you are not a ghost protecting me. you are simply a shadow. an afterimage.” which I KNOOWOWWWWWWW is some will graham in dolce influenced bullshit but YEOWCH :(
